Nitric oxide synthase-like protein (NOS) is shown to be present in specific regions of the central nervous system (CNS) of the cephalopod mollusc Sepia officinalis (cuttlefish). NOS activity, which is Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent, was determined by measuring the conversion of L-[(14)C]arginine in L-[

## Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) is a major signaling molecule in the retina and CNS, with physiological roles in every cell type in the retina. Previous work shows that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is an important source of NO in the vertebrate retina. There are distinct, active alternative
The flux control coefficient of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), for the in vivo synthesis of the key biological mediator nitric oxide (NO), was determined in four rat brain regions with varying NOS activities (cerebral cortex, hippocampus, amygdala and cerebellum) using metabolic control theory. Flux c
The superior olivary complex (SOC), a group of interrelated brainstem nuclei, sends efferents to a variety of neuronal structures including the cochlea and the inferior colliculus. The present review describes data obtained from rodents providing evidence that the gaseous, short-living neuroactive s
